Over the years, I have used Rosetta Stone, Babbel and now Rocket. Rocket is what I have been using to learn Italian as I used Rosetta Stone for Spanish mainly. There are things about this I like for learning but I feel this pushes too far toward memorization and not concept or forming sentences and mental recall. I have been doing the daily lesson for 3 straight weeks. I have a good bank of vocabulary, but I am struggling forming sentences for the most part. I will see this through Level 1 for sure and most likely 2, to see how effective it is. I felt more progress at this point through Rosetta stone and their style of learning, but I did it for 6 months daily. Time will tell for Rocket but I am going to go into with my mind open and following their method.
